Thermostat in master bedroom for ON/OFF control.
Solution: Two-Pipe System Lay-out
1. If sufficient space is available for radiators, select
radiators based on required heat output and desired
style. Select radiators from Tables 9 & 10 since the
system temperature is similar to those listed.
If the radiators must be sized for the available window
space, determine the minimum needed model radiator
based on the required Btu/ft for each room from Figure
10 with a 194°F (90°C) supply temperature. Use the
same supply temperature for each radiator in a two-pipe
system.
2. Select an overall temperature drop of 20°F (11°C).
3. Compute system flow rate as: GPM = Q / 500 / ∆T =
37000 / 500 / 20 = 3.7 GPM
4. Combine all information in tabular form as shown in
Table 2.
